winstons pay varies directly with the number of hours he works if he earns $120 for 8h of work how much will he earn for 11h of work?
Set up a proportion as follows: matrix%281%2C3%2C+120%2FE%2C+%22=%22%2C+8%2F11%29, where E is the earnings from 11 hours of work.

Solve for E (earnings) to get $165.
